Sun on a roof in Pyote.
The PVWatts model puts a generic roof array in Pyote at 1,767 kWh a year for each kW of panels, using typical-year weather from a station 2.2 km away. A modeled estimate for a standard setup, not a measurement of any roof.

Scroll from January to December: the noon sun over Pyote climbs and falls, and the modeled output follows it.

Where Pyote sits.
Pyote ranks 26th of 1220 Texas places modeled here, at the 98th percentile. Its 1,767 kWh per kW is above the Texas median of 1,515. The strongest months are May, April, June and the weakest are December, November, February; output peaks in May and bottoms out in December. In all, 27.5% of the year arrives in June, July and August, less than the 29.3% of the median place.

Against El Paso
The nearest of the six largest modeled places is El Paso, 315 km to the west, at 1,835 kWh per kW. Pyote models 68 kWh per kW (3.7%) below it. Pyote lies 0.31 degrees of latitude south of El Paso, which on sun angle alone would point the other way, so clouds, haze and the weather station's record carry the difference. The weather station for Pyote is 2.2 km from the modeled point, against 0.9 km for El Paso, so part of the gap can come from which station's typical year was used.
The second-nearest large place is San Antonio, 498 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,505 kWh per kW, so Pyote runs 262 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Pyote runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.
Electricity in Ward CountyEIA-861
Electricity prices nearby
EIA lists Oncor Electric Delivery and Texas-New Mexico Power in this county. Where Pyote is on Oncor Electric Delivery and Texas-New Mexico Power's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Pyote may instead be served by a co-op or utility listed below, which sets its own rates; check your bill. For scale only, the median 2025 average price across the 60 Texas retail providers on this site is 15.32¢ per kWh, which would put the modeled 1,767 kWh at $271 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.
Also listed in the county
- Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC: 5.64¢ per kWh, delivery charges only, before the retail energy price, 3,545,814 residential customers across 99 counties.
These utilities serve other parts of the county, which can include parts of Pyote. They are the largest bundled providers, and the largest delivery-only one, whose EIA service territory lists the county. A county can list several, and which one serves a street depends on the address, so check your bill.

Size the array, see the kWh.
Scale the Pyote model to another array size, take off extra losses for shade or dirt, and price the energy at any rate. It is arithmetic on the PVWatts output above, nothing more: not a quote, not a savings estimate and not advice.
Starting rate: the Texas residential average of 15.4¢ per kWh. At that rate the modeled output is worth $272 per kW a year as plain multiplication.

Getting a measured number
A model cannot see your roof. Installers measure pitch, shade and the electrical panel on site. Quote marketplaces such as EnergySage, SolarReviews and WattBuy collect bids from local installers. Rate & Roof does not rank installers.

Payback, buyback.
The sliders above price the energy at one rate. The payback calculator adds the system cost and your buyback plan type, and shows every assumption. It is an estimate, not advice.
